Luksuz festival poceni filma (Luksuz Cheap Film Festival) was established in 2003 by Luksuz Production, the video production label of the Society of Allies for Soft Landing, Krško (DZMP), motivated by the advent of cheap film production and the consequent democratisation of media. The festival features short and low-budget film productions by both domestic and foreign emerging filmmakers and activists, created in a non-commercial or non-institutional context and offering an alternative to mainstream "Hollywood" and national film productions.
SUBMISSION IS OPEN ONLY TO AUTHORS/FILMS FROM Albania, Armenia, Belarus, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Georgia, Greece, Hungary, Kosovo, Northern Macedonia, Moldova, Montenegro, Romania, Russia, Serbia, Slovenia, Ukraine.
